Domestic durian prices increased slightly today, with beautiful Ri6 durian reaching 85,000 - 100,000 VND/kg in the Southwest region and Thai durian priced at 135,000 - 152,000 VND/kg. Vietnam is expecting China to grant a 'visa' for frozen durian this year, which could significantly increase export value. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is optimistic about the growth potential of the durian industry, with expectations of export turnover reaching over 2.2 billion USD by 2023, and plans for infrastructure improvements to support further growth.
